This school district is located in Marinette County. By a strong majority, the residents of this county are strong Trump supporters, and spent 2012-2018 Standing With Walker. Not surprisingly, public education in this county suffers from a lack of support from many county residents who are strong MAGA supporters.
Nearly every yard in the county that has a sign proclaiming support for Trump and/or contempt for President Biden and those who support him. FJB signs are more prevalent than the American flag in most areas of Marinette County. Since the MAGA Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin enacted Act 10 in 2011, teachers in every school district in this county have suffered significant salary and benefit cuts imposed by MAGA-controlled school boards. Woe to anyone, especially a public school teacher, that doesn't openly support Trump or who dares to openly support Biden or any Democratic candidate.
Average teacher pay in this county ranges from $43,908 to $57,279. The Wausaukee school district average teacher salary was one of the lowest ones in Marinette County at $52,602. The increase in average teacher salary since 2011 was 9.1%, which was below the rate of inflation.
The Wausaukee school board increased Superintendent pay by 15.8%, which was also below the rate of inflation. We suspect that this school district may be dealing with financial problems, possibly due to declining enrollment or lack of funding from the MAGA Republican Dictatorship that rules Wisconsin.
We rate the career employment potential for teachers in this district as a Dead End job.
